Bon Iver

I personally like this Bon Iver album the most. The songs are mature and have an original sound. The first album was folk and singer-songwriter stuff, this album is all about nature in epic soundscapes. Listening to it feels like sitting on a porch at a cabin at the edge of the forest looking to the clouds passing by. Almost too bad that Vernon started experimenting even further on the following albums.

Typical Bon Iver sound. I love it

More Bon Iver… and it’s good Bon Iver. Dramatic, interesting, and lovely.

The debut album has that energy of an outpouring following a decade's build-up which is hard to beat, though I think this is in some ways a more mature and consciously realized album. Regardless it's a very strong sophomore offering. Holocene is one of my absolute favorite songs of the decade.

Most of it is pretty good, except for the yacht rock nonsense…

Another solid 40 minutes of bon iver music. Somewhat less sad than for Emma forever ago.

I have a love/hate relationship with Bon Iver. Some of his music I think is beautiful, while some is pretentious and unlistenable. This I found to be more of the former. 3 stars.

Beth/Rest sounds like it was ripped from 80s smooth ballads

Falsetto folk isn’t my thing and maybe it deserved one entry into the overall list but I don’t think we needed six or whatever

Post-rock, chamber folk, chamber pop, experimental. Ni fu ni fa.
